MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Toyota Mr2 (N244 LMJ) between October 2005 and October 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 24 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Nearside Outer Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
